Anyhow, I actually thought about this and finally came up with an idea. How about pizza? You can buy/make the pizza dough, any leftover ingredients could probably be frozen. Same with the leftovers of the pizza. You could probably take the frozen leftovers and heat it in the oven…

Ok that’s all I could come up with after a day =)

Omelets or a fritatta would be a good choice if Will likes those. You could buy just enough ingredients to use up. Good luck – I hope your fridge is fixed soon.

It’s easier to act like we don’t have one So, we shop for meals nearly every day. We’ve managed to cope for almost two years, though I smirk at it every time I go in there, and thankfully it’s just two of us.

The first thing to do is get much of the fruit and veggies out of the fridge – most don’t need to be in there anyway. IF, and this is hard to do in the US, If you can find eggs that haven’t been refridgerated, you can leave those out of the fridge as well. Once they’ve been cooled, though, they gotta stay cool. You can also leave real butter out so long as it’s not sweltering in your house. Some cheeses, like blocks of parmesan, can hang out out of the fridge as well. Someone recently tried to convince me that milk could last outside of the fridge for longer than you’d expect, but I think you have to draw the line somewhere.

Our wee fridge basically looks like it belongs in a dorm room – full of condiments, beer, white wine, milk and small containers of the occasional left over.

We basically reduce all of our recipes to avoid left overs (I hate them anyway). Our staples are stir fry, burritos or tacos, fish wraps (seared tuna with lettuce, tomatoes and avodados), pasta… Last night B even made some Asiany soup with fresh veggies. Oh we sometimes cheat and make Boboli pizzas with fresh veggies.
